Flying Time Trial

The Flying Time Trial (Japanese: そらとぶタイムアタック Soratobu Time Attack) is a minigame introduced in The Indigo Disk for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The player controls Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V with infinite flight through an aerial course across parts of the Terarium at Blueberry Academy. The Flying Time Trial can be initiated from Canyon Plaza.

The player first experiences the Flying Time Trial as part of Amarys's Elite Trial. It can be repeated after completing it for the first time.

Overview

The Flying Time Trial is a test designed by Amarys for challengers of the BB League. She provides a supplement to the participating Trainer's Pokémon, which enhances their flight capabilities in order to properly maneuver through the course.

Gameplay

The player guides Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V with controllable flight mechanics. The goal is to reach the endpoint before the timer runs out. Floating rings of Magnemite are found throughout the course, guiding the player in the right direction and adding three seconds to the player's timer if they fly through them. Starting with Normal difficulty, Magneton rings appear alongside Magnemite rings, which add five seconds to the timer if passed through.

After defeating Amarys, the player can freely participate in the Flying Time Trial again by talking to the plaza receptionist. The course is offered in four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Super-hard, with the latter difficulty only available to unlock after completing the main story of The Indigo Disk. Each course establishes a set path the player must follow, with the length and complexity of the course increasing with difficulty. These courses can be completed to obtain BP.

The Easy course takes place entirely within the Canyon Biome, starting from the Canyon Rest Area and ending near the Nature Preserve. The Normal course starts in the bottom right corner of the Canyon Biome and ends at the bottom middle of the Polar Biome near the Canyon Rest Area. The hard course starts near the Central Plaza in the Savannah Biome, goes through Chargestone Cavern to the Polar Biome, doubles back by the large mountain, and passes through the Canyon Biome to the Nature Preserve. The Super-hard course starts near the Central Plaza in the Savannah Biome, heads to the Canyon Biome, through the west part of Chargestone Cavern, doubles back through the Polar Biome, and to the east side of Chargestone Cavern. The path then flies through the Central Plaza to the Coastal Biome and ends on the large plateau.
